The Kruger National Park covers over 2 000 000 Hectares, and Kurt Safari was one of the first operators to introduce full-day safaris. This gives clients a chance to see a larger part of the Kruger, compared to short 3-hour safaris which must remain close to the camps, resulting in driving the same areas on every safari. The extended time increases the chances of seeing more wildlife as we traverse different grasslands and ecological zones.

Breakfast pack and Dinner included.
